Hi guys. Anyone expert in investing commercial properties? Wondering between individual title shoplot or stratified title retail lot or office lot. For conventional individual title shoplot, one does not require to pay monthly maintenance fee and car park is under local authority’s supervision. Strata retail or office lot needs to pay monthly maintenance and pay season car parking but have better security.

Looks like nobody interested in this topic.. haha..

You posted on weekend lah... us forummers like to post from our office computers... weekend no time to post...

Anyway...generally for commercial go for individual title... has the highest potential for capital appreciation. Stratified depends on a lot of factors like management taking care of the place well, whether can attract crowd etc.

Haha.. Thank you for your input..

Go for individual title. Strata title - there are just too many variables beyond your control, examples like other units not paying their maintenance / delay paying the maintenance which will lead to insufficient funds to maintain the property. Secondly, if there is sufficient funds, you will then need to deal with the trust issue over the elected JMB/MC managing the funds.

Absolutely agree that Individual title comes with more freedom and owner has absolute control over his property. However sometimes, stratified properties which is newer and modern concept seem to be very tempting also over older and traditional individual title shoplot..

Which property are you refering in particular ?

Individual titles anytime 👍
Less headache & maximum valuations 🤑💰
